From Silents to the Seventies: The Prize

David Krauss — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 17:00:56 +0000

The Prize didn’t win any prizes from the Academy, but this slick mix of suspense, glamor, wit, and intrigue just might be more entertaining than this weekend’s Oscar telecast. Who knew winning a Nobel Prize could be so dangerous? The Prize Theatrical Release Date: December 25, 1963 Blu-ray Release Date: January 15, 2019 Directed by:...

From Silents to the Seventies: The Drowning Pool

David Krauss — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 17:00:40 +0000

Private eye Lew Harper returns in The Drowning Pool, a surprisingly satisfying follow-up to 1966’s Harper. Paul Newman is back as the roll-with-the-punches investigator and his real-life wife Joanne Woodward tags along for the ride. The Drowning Pool Theatrical Release Date: July 18, 1975 Blu-ray Release Date: February 27, 2018 Directed by: Stuart Rosenberg Starring:...

From Silents to the Seventies: Harper

David Krauss — Mon, 24 Dec 2018 17:00:06 +0000

Harper is a 1960s throwback to the great film noirs of the 1940s. While there’s a lot to like about it, this hard-boiled mystery starring Paul Newman and a cast of Hollywood heavyweights never quite lives up to the classic movies it emulates. On the plus side, the Blu-ray looks like a million bucks. Harper...

Blu-ray Highlights for February 26th, 2013 – You Know, For Kids!

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:00:35 +0000

Perhaps due to a desire not to draw attention away from the Oscars, or perhaps simply due to a shortage of worthwhile product to release, the Hollywood studios have chosen to go light on notable new Blu-ray releases this week. However, at least a couple of acclaimed films and one cult comedy managed to slip...

The Netflix Stream: Week of December 18th, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:00:10 +0000

There’s a lot of movement in the Netflix stream this week. Most of that seems to be children’s TV shows or movies that just aren’t worth mentioning, but a few stand out. Leaving the Stream ‘Apollo 13’ (12/27): You may know him as the father of Colin Hanks, but Tom proves that he’s also got...

Blu-ray Highlights for 5/17/11. What Are You Buying?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 17 May 2011 13:00:00 +0000

When I wrote up last week’s Blu-ray Highlights post, I somehow missed the fact that ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never‘ was released on Friday the 13th. What an inexcusable oversight! Can you ever forgive me? I sure hope so. Anyway, turning to this week’s new Blu-ray releases, it looks once again like the catalog titles...

The Netflix Stream: Week of April 27th, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:00:19 +0000

We’ve had a few rough weeks, but things are finally getting easier for Netflix fans. We may be losing a pretty big crop of movies from the stream this week, but they’re generally pretty bad ones. In exchange, we get a few newer releases and the return of one of my favorites. Leaving the Stream...
